Seminar Feedback & Testimonial:
I cannot say enough about Robert Cusumano and Wanda Buchanan. They are truly experts in this field and approached the seminar with excellence and patience. This seminar covered a wide range of topics – from estimating methods, how to determine a scope of work, performing quantity takeoffs, calculating labor, material and miscellaneous job costs, reading blueprints, figuring overhead and profit and even covering PDCA standards and contracts. I truly walked away from these two intensive days with a confident understanding of what had been taught. Prior to the seminar, I was apprehensive that the course would be “over my head” and that I would be sitting through the two days with my eyes glazed over, being exposed to terms that I wouldn’t understand. This was definitely not the case.
